With 11:18 remaining, 3rd and 8, DeLuca rolls right, eludes rusher, sidearms the ball 20 yards down field in vicinity of TE Derek Ambrosino.   WR Riley Rusyn crosses in front of Ambrosino, catches the ball in full stride and runs down the near sidelilne for an 80 yd TD reception.  PAT good, Central Valley Leads 14-7
  • Central Valley receives kickoff, begins drive at its own 34, gains one first down, then faces 4th and 2 at WA 47 yard line.  WA defense holds by stuffing run and WA gets ball on downs.    DeLuca runs twice for first down at Central Valley 42. Darren Rodney runs twice for short yardage, 3rd and 8.  DeLuca play action, fakes to Rodney, fakes end around to Haros and then hits Brian Williams on a stop and go down to the Central Valley 9 yard line.
    With 1st and goal at 9;  DeLuca rushes for gain of 1;  Rodney then rushes to 4 yard line.  3rd and goal at the four, DeLuca is stopped for no gain.   4th and goal at 4, DeLuca rolls right, throws back left to Ambrosino in far side of endzone.  PAT makes it 14-14  with 4:02 remaining in the game. 
  • Jayden Rusyn makes a crushing tackle on following kickoff, igniting WA sideline, and Central Valley starts deep in its own territory at its own 20 yard line
    Ambriosino sacks Central Valley QB for 7 yd loss to 13.  Central Valley screen pass nets big yardage and brings ball out to 46 yard line, 1st and 10. 
    2 rushes, 3 yd gain, 3rd and 7 CV 49, Caleb Graham tips pass making it 4th and 7.  Warrior defense holds. Central Valley punts.
  • After short punt and personal foul, WA on Central Valley 42;  DeLuca rushes 2 yards to Central Valley 40, DeLuca then hits Brian Williams with 39 yard pass to Central Valley 1.  DeLuca runs it in with 41 seconds remaining. PAT makes the score 21-14.

Warrior Pride 2019
 
EASTERNPAFOOTBALL FEATURES: NEPAFOOTBALL.COM WATCHING

More details to follow. Congratulations to these well-deserved former Warrior greats!
Sammy Solomon (#21) and Dominic DeLuca (#261) Featured in the Penn Live 2020 Rankings of College Football Prospects

21. Sammy Solomon

School: Wyoming Area

Position: DL

HT/WT: 6-3, 290

Buzz: Solomon is a big nasty. As in, he’s a big guy, and having to deal with him on the field is just a nasty job to have to endure. He may have more buzz, and may be higher in these rankings, had he not lost most of his junior season to injury. His sophomore film shows a big guy who can move extremely well, played on the edge, and did a good job of getting into the backfield. He will be an interior player at the next level, and if he can show those traits from the inside this year, his stock could skyrocket again before signing day. He claims offers from Temple, Virginia, Rutgers, Boston College, Western Michigan, Bowling Green and Buffalo.

261. Dominic Deluca

School: Wyoming Area

Position: S

HT/WT: 6-1, 195

Buzz: He could grow into a linebacker. As is, he’s a physical presence on the backend who does a good job of making plays.
